You will engage directly with security architects, and enterprise buyers while also rolling up your sleeves on PRDs, Figma reviews, sprint planning, and competitive analysis.

  • Drive data-driven prioritization using product telemetry, win/loss analysis, and customer usage analytics.
Product Execution
  • Engage deeply with engineering on data discovery, classification engines, policy models, APIs, and remediation workflows.
  • Author detailed PRDs, user stories, and acceptance criteria that engineering teams can execute against with minimal ambiguity.
  • Drive the discover-classify-assess-remediate lifecycle across structured and unstructured data stores, SaaS applications, and cloud-native environments.
  • Partner with UX/UI to transform complex DSPM workflows into intuitive, modern interfaces
  • Synthesize complex feedback from field teams (Sales, Solutions Engineers, Customer Success) into structured problem statements and prioritized requirements.
  • Support go-to-market teams with competitive positioning, demo narratives, and roadmap communications.
Candidate Profile & QualificationsRequired Experience
  • Product Management experience in B2B/enterprise software, with progressive ownership of product areas.
  • Experience in Cyber security, data protection, or cloud infrastructure products.
  • Proven track record of owning a product or major feature area end-to-end: strategy, roadmap, delivery milestones, and adoption.
  • Hands-on domain expertise in one or more of the following (multiple strongly preferred):
  • Data Security / DLP (across endpoints, cloud, email, web, or networks)
  • DSPM (data discovery, classification, posture assessment, remediation in cloud data stores)
  • Cloud Security Platforms (CSPM/SSPM/CASB) with emphasis on data or identity components
